Most people are retarded. Literally, if your IQ is too low you are basically unable to future plan and have poor impulse control (the two main contributing factors to poverty and crime).

Thats why a county with no space or natural resources like Japan can be such a paradise compared to your average resource and space rich african shithole. High IQ prevalence baby.

>>total revenue first year(2016): $360 000(holy shit)
Is this literally revenue or profit?
Let's say 32% is spent on food and beverages and 8% on restaurant occupancy costs.
Assuming no employees you now have 216k left or 108k for each of you. However, you now also to pay for many benefits and taxes by yourself and also have to deal with shit you have to do that doesn't pay you directly, such as bookkeeping etc.
So your $216k are probably the equivalent to a $60k salary but with a lot of work and having to hang out in a ramen and takoyaki place all the time.
You are doing very well, but calling yourself an economic genius might be a bit too much. ;)

This.

100 IQ is considered average, but lets be honest it's fucking retarded.

Money management is extremely easy. If you are even close to genius level it's very easy to either be super rich or have tons of free time depending on which one you value more.

I'm lazy as fuck and only work one day per week, making roughly $300 on that day. I have a roommate and end each month with money to spare, which I budget and save. My savings account is over 10k. Basically I get to live life as if I were a neet and fuck around on the internet all day. It's not even hard to figure out how to do this. I too have been amazed at how fucking dumb people can be and have less than 20$ to their name at the end of each month. Most of these people who do this are wagecucks who work 300% more hours per week than I do, and yet they still end up stuck in a rut because they spend money on stupid shit ( Drugs, expensive delivery, booze and cigs ) without considering the costs.

I've concluded that most people don't understand that microtransactions add up. They think of a $7 pack as only $7 in relation to their monthly budget and don't take into consideration that if they do that every few days
that's $700 per year. The average person legitimately cannot see that the bulk of their money is lost by slowly bleeding it to shit they don't need.

I'm a relatively well known and respected 3D freelance artist, and can work quick enough to finish major projects in less than 10 hours that take most people 30+.

But desu any kind of contract work that values your time at $20-30 per hour could be done this way. You could even do super generic work as a amazon flex or multiplatform delivery driver ( Roommate does this and makes 400$ in two days of work each weekend ). There are tons and tons of shit you can do in our gig economy just google that phrase. DESU I have no idea why anyone allows themselves to be a wagecuck.

My sister has about 45k sitting in her savings at 21 from merely living on a tight budget.
I wouldn't chalk it up to being an economic genius, so much as her being a hyper jew and being very particular on how she spends her money.
